This week, the Diva is challenging us to use a specific string as base for design. You can see the string here. I wanted to work out whether it's the materials & tools or me. So I did this at work using the cheapest supermarket texta and pencil and finger for blending, while waiting for files to download and dodge certain onlookers. I pat myself on the head.

That's how you do the 2-pencil string
Так рисуется шаблон двумя карандашами

And these are the ATC's I sent for online swap 4 on Creative Doodling with Judy West. The theme is overlapping shapes. I love playing with all sorts of pens and backgrounds, but black on white is the winner.Эти АТС я послала для виртуального обмена 4 на Creative Doodling with Judy West. Тема: накладывающиеся/переплетающиеся формы/узоры. Я обожаю играться с разными ручками и фонами, но чёрный на белом побеждает.

Also showing off our new stamp - real with wax and our monogram; our own little world in a stamp. Showing off further - the UK Quilling Guild published a post on the member's blog about this style we've been working in. Unfortunately I cannot provide a link, as it's for members only and you need a password.

Can you see the fuzzy texture from the shredder?
Вам видна "пушистая" текстура от нарезателя?

This week, I am the Diva challenge is a duotangle, where you can use only two specified tangles. This time they are: Cirquital and Opus. This evening I spotted a piece of paper with my husband's calligraphy on it. Last year we were working on a housewarming card and this is one the remaining scraps. I don't particularly hate my job, but today I had one-of-those-days. And when I saw the words "New Address", I really, really wanted to be in a different workplace.... just for a bit. Also, next month, work is moving into new premises, making it a bit closer to home and promoting increased working-from-home hours. And that's a good thing. So here's to my new address.

As guest designers on Smart-artS Quilligraphy challenge, this is what my husband and I came up with.
Unfortunately, we were given very short notice to prepare a piece, so this was born within 4 hours.
My husband barracks for Dynamo Kiev, the Ukrainian soccer team and this is the logo. You can also see their Beaver mascot.
We're good, aren't we!
